now, a couple of weeks ago, we had the former nsa whistleblower, thomas drake, at a press club lunch, and he said obtainey are seeking to or renew security clearances, and they are investigated, one of the questions they are asked at least some of the times is whether the employee has ever had unauthorized contact with a reporter, not just involving proprietary information but any unauthorized contact. to a lot of us, this is disturbing, because we thought by asking that question in that context, they are sending the message, intentional or not, that speaking to the press off- line is for bitten and could even you a security risk. now, obviously, the bradley manning and edward snowden leaks have raised the temperature on this issue considerably, particularly at the security agencies, and this message was made in a really hard-core way in a june 2012 defense department document about a so- called insider threat program, and it was obtained recently by a news organization, and it isd, quote, leaking tantamount to aiding the enemies of the united states. close quote. seniorould be a lot
